In 1999 Sasha Waltz started working on her three-piece choreographic cycle about the human body. In »Körper«, following up this extraordinary research, she investigates the anatomy and the physical appearance of the human being, relating her dancers‘ bodies to architecture, science, and history. »S« searches for the origin of life, of Eros, and of sensibility. »noBody« asks about the metaphysical existence of humanity. PART II »S« »S« represents the middle section of the trilogy »Körper«, »S« and »noBody« by Sasha Waltz. The piece acts as a connective link between the investigation of the physical being in »Körper« and the metaphysical being in »noBody«. While sexuality and Eros are all but absent from these two pieces, with »S« they constitute central themes. The New York musician Jonathan Bepler, renowned for his long-standing collaboration with Matthew Barney on »Cremaster Cycle«, composed the room-encompassing original music for the production.
